Plot Summary

The film follows Lethu, an event-planner maestro, hopeless romantic, and dreamer who seems to have it all: she’s successfully running her own business, booed up with the perfect man, and backed by a supportive network of family and friends. Lethu’s life takes a hellish turn when her health is compromised, shattering the illusion of a perfect relationship with her fiancé, Lucky. She leans on her friends Amanda, Zanele, and Thoko for support. Now at a crossroads, Lethu is trapped in heartbreakville, unable to break free from the emotional turmoil.
